CVE-2023-54151 — f2fs: Fix system crash due to lack of free space in LFS

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: f2fs: Fix system crash due to lack of free space in LFS When f2fs tries to checkpoint during foreground gc in LFS mode, system crash occurs due to lack of free space if the amount of dirty node and dentry pages generated by data migration exceeds free space. The reproduction sequence is as follows. - 20GiB capacity block device (null_blk) - format and mount with LFS mode - create a file and write 20,000MiB - 4k random write on full range of the file RIP: 0010:new_curseg+0x48a/0x510 [f2fs] Code: 55 e7 f5 89 c0 48 0f af c3 48 8b 5d c0 48 c1 e8 20 83 c0 01 89 43 6c 48 83 c4 28 5b 41 5c 41 5d 41 5e 41 5f 5d c3 cc cc cc cc <0f> 0b f0 41 80 4f 48 04 45 85 f6 0f 84 ba fd ff ff e9 ef fe ff ff RSP: 0018:ffff977bc397b218 EFLAGS: 00010246 RAX: 00000000000027b9 RBX: 0000000000000000 RCX: 00000000000027c0 RDX: 0000000000000000 RSI: 00000000000027b9 RDI: ffff8c25ab4e74f8 RBP: ffff977bc397b268 R08: 00000000000027b9 R09: ffff8c29e4a34b40 R10: 0000000000000001 R11: ffff977bc397b0d8 R12: 0000000000000000 R13: ffff8c25b4dd81a0 R14: 0000000000000000 R15: ffff8c2f667f9000 FS: 0000000000000000(0000) GS:ffff8c344ec80000(0000) knlGS:0000000000000000 CS: 0010 DS: 0000 ES: 0000 CR0: 0000000080050033 CR2: 000000c00055d000 CR3: 0000000e30810003 CR4: 00000000003706e0 DR0: 0000000000000000 DR1: 0000000000000000 DR2: 0000000000000000 DR3: 0000000000000000 DR6: 00000000fffe0ff0 DR7: 0000000000000400 Call Trace: <TASK> allocate_segment_by_default+0x9c/0x110 [f2fs] f2fs_allocate_data_block+0x243/0xa30 [f2fs] ? __mod_lruvec_page_state+0xa0/0x150 do_write_page+0x80/0x160 [f2fs] f2fs_do_write_node_page+0x32/0x50 [f2fs] __write_node_page+0x339/0x730 [f2fs] f2fs_sync_node_pages+0x5a6/0x780 [f2fs] block_operations+0x257/0x340 [f2fs] f2fs_write_checkpoint+0x102/0x1050 [f2fs] f2fs_gc+0x27c/0x630 [f2fs] ? folio_mark_dirty+0x36/0x70 f2fs_balance_fs+0x16f/0x180 [f2fs] This patch adds checking whether free sections are enough before checkpoint during gc.

Who exploits it and how urgent it is

A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.

No exploitation signal in the sources consulted so far.

How the score was calculated

EPSS 0.2% (30-day exploitation probability)+1
Technical severity (high)+6

The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).

Triage

Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.

What should defenders know first?

CVE-2023-54151 is "f2fs: Fix system crash due to lack of free space in LFS", rated High. It affects Linux (Linux); versions are in the scope table. It is not in CISA KEV, which does not rule out exploitation. CVSS 7.8 describes technical severity. EPSS 0.15% estimates the probability of exploitation in 30 days; neither replaces your asset context. First verify whether exposed or business-critical assets run the affected versions, apply vendor fixes or mitigations, and preserve logs for review.
